Christian sat at his desk, twirling a pen between his fingers, completely distracted. Hindi mawala wala sa isipan niya ang mga bagay na hindi naman talaga matapos tapos. His thoughts kept drifting back to Vrix, specifically to ‘that’ conversation they had. The tension, the lingering looks... It was getting to him, and he knew he couldn’t ignore it anymore.
Napasandal si Christian at halatang gulong gulo. Finally, Christian sighed. ‘Should I ask Ate Pat?’ he wondered pero ano bang alam ni Perlas dito? Sandali na napatigil si Christian dahil gusto rin niya na mayroong makausap. ‘Pero nakakahiya...’ He started typing a message to Perlas, but before he could even hit send, Perlas—Ate Pat—appeared, as if summoned by his thoughts.
Ngayong na nasa harapan niya si Perlas parang gusto na lamang niya ibalik ito sa kung saan ito galing.
“Sid, ano yan? Ba’t parang ang bigat ng iniisip mo?” Perlas smirked, leaning against the door, arms crossed.
Isa ito sa hindi niya maintindihan minsan. Minsan gusto niya na narito si Perlas ngunit madalas hindi. Hindi rin naman kasi sila nagkakaroon ng maayos na araw kapag magkasama sila dahil puro sila away.
Christian froze, trying to play it cool. "Wala naman!” Kaagad naman na kumuha ng papel at ballpen si Christian upang hindi mahalata. “Just... work stuff," he lied, quickly looking away.
Perlas raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. Alam niya kapag nagsisinungaling ang kaibigan niya kaya hindi makakalagpas sa kaniya. "Work stuff? Hmm...” tumigil si Perlas at saka binigyan ng nakakalokong ngiti kay Chrstian. “Baka naman love stuff?" she teased, wagging her finger at him. “Come on, spill it! Ano yan, may kinalaman ba yan kay... you know who?” Lumapit si Perlas. “Alam mo ikaw ang bilis mo ah!” pang-aasar pa niya.
Christian groaned, knowing there was no escaping her teasing now. Kahit kailan ay hindi niya magawang makatakas kay Perlas. "Ate Pat, grabe ka! Ang kulit mo talaga."
Perlas laughed, walking closer and sitting across from him. "Oh, bakit? Alam ko na ‘yan, something's up! Huwag ka nang mahiya, I’m your ‘Ate Pat’! I won't judge... much." She gave him a wink, which only made him want to crawl under his desk and disappear.
Parang gusto na lamang ni Christian na ibalik si Perlas sa sinapupunan ng kaniyang ina sa kakulitan. Christian shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Fine...” he said defeatedly. Wala naman siyang kawala eh. “Pero promise you won't make fun of me too much, ha?"
"Depends. But sige, promise na. Ano na?" she leaned in, obviously loving the drama.
She really loves drama.
He took a deep breath. "I’ve just been thinking...” Hindi maiwasan ni Christian na mag-make face nang sumandal siya. “Paano ba 'to sabihin... about being... ready. Like physically ready," Christian muttered, barely audible.
Perlas blinked, she processed everything her friend said and then burst out laughing. “What?!” She clutched her stomach, tears forming in her eyes. “Sid, seryoso ka? You're thinking of buying... ‘that’ stuff?”
Christian's face went beet red. "Ate Pat, grabe ka! Tigil na, seryoso ako!"
Perlas wiped away her tears of laughter but continued to chuckle. Hindi niya akalain na darating ang araw na mamomroblema si Christian sa ganitong bagay. "Okay, okay! Pero, Sid, come on! So... ano? Lube and... ano pa?" She smirked, enjoying how flustered he was.
Napairap na lamang si Christian. ‘Kunwari hindi pa alam.’ Christian groaned, feeling the heat in his cheeks. "Uh... yeah, maybe... and, you know... something that’s, uh... the same size. Like kay... Vrix," he mumbled, covering his face with his hands.
